The Pershing Trophy was presented by General John J. Pershing (1860-1948), Commander of the American Expeditionary Force of World War 1, for team competition at the Inter-Allied Games in Paris in 1919. Won by the AEF, it was brought to the United States and placed in the custody of NBPRP with General Pershing’s concurrence. The trophy is a bronze figure of a World War I soldier firing the service pistol.
